Have you seen the family guy episode where Lois runs for mayor and she gives straight answers and no one likes her, but when she just says "9/11" and other key words they all cheer.

Because he doesn't understand the power of idiocy. In our neat TV influenced, 10second soundbite world, real answers are not good enough. We want dumb-yet-feelgood emotionally satisfying, politically correct, garbage. That way we can walk away saying, "wow!what vision! What insight into our problems." and the best part is, I don't have to do anything.

Did I say he doesn't understand the power of idiocy? He won't win:

Mayor Rudy sure likes that 'feel good' denial. He should distribute those magnetic car ribbons that usually say; "Support Our Troops", but instead have them say; "Let's Pretend - That Everything's Fine".

I guess if we all just hope for the best, this whole unpleasantness in Iraq will just clear right up.

Maybe we should vote for that woman who wrote 'The Secret'

GOP candidates who are vets are Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter, and John McCain.

Absolutely, I am so outraged by the characteristics of a few citizens, many on this thread, who have been lead by the fear and hatred that has been in Washington over the past 6 years.

Many are beginning to recognize that Dr. Paul is really a Doctor and not one who plays one on TV.

Just watch the fact that Dr. Paul is the only Republican to raise over 100% cash in the last quarter.

Accident, hardly. It's the disgust sensible Americans have about the Sheep that lead our country through fear and that thier interest and interests if thier social class are not the American people's. I say that and I'm rich.

Go Dr. Paul!!

He\'s a lousy Jesus-FREAK. The last thing this country needs is another hate-filled religious nutcase. No to the mythological toad Ron Paul.

This is because he is honest.

AS a matter of fact, Mitt Romney's (what a name!) answer regarding striking Iran and how Congress comes in was also very honest and correct-at least in my part. I don't know why Ron Paul attempted to put him down.

Any president would want to consult his lawyers (White House Counsel) before launching an attack.

Presidents are servants of the people and custodians-keepers- of their laws (constitution) be it in the U.S., Kenya or wherever (except Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea e.t.c.).

Mitt Romney gave the right answer but in politics today, honesty, commonsense and candour will take you nowhere.

If it did, Obama would be way ahead of Hillary and Ron Paul would be where Hillary is in terms of polls at least.

Speaking in politically correct manner is regrettably what Americans (mostly) buy. It is the people's fault. Blame them.

Ron Paul is a smart and articulate candidate. HOWEVER, his internet fan base is a bunch of crazies. They really are nuts.

I gave Paul $10, and plan to give more before the end of this quarter. But his fan base is way too crazy for me.

So you're saying you're way too crazy for yourself?

Is Ron Paul a Zionist pig ? That\'s the worst thing about Hillary. She acts like a liberal crybaby. But then Hillary supports Israeli racism, apartheid, genocide, rape, sodomy, and murder against their own biologically/physically identical Semitic people (the Palestinians).

And I support trollicide. Close enough for me - guess she'll get my vote.

I imagine you'll be writing in Joe Lieberman instead, right?

How about Hitler\'s grandson, Omri Sharon, he\'s a real Zionist Pig.

1) Palestinians and Israelis are not "biologically/physically identical." That is, in fact, an absurd statement. As the saying goes, "Google is your friend."

2) Ron Paul is opposed to the US war in Iraq, US foreign aid to and military protection of Israel, etc. This information is not exactly hidden; here 's a starting point:

how often do we see a physician and strict constitutionalist run for president?

i'd pick a physician over a lawyer any day.
